This review is from: Jay-z...And the Roc-a-fella Dynasty (Paperback)

this Book is run of the Mill just like the subject matter. Lay Z just goes to Caskets&Morgues to get his ideas on writing a song. He is vastly Overrated as a Artist&he just got over because of the Untimely Passings of both Biggie&2Pac. He didn't do anything with Roc-a-Fella Records&he is Lame as a So-Called President at Def Jam Records. how this Cat gets over, is amazing because it doesn't take much effort to figure out his corny Rap style at all. the Camel is a Jive Time Non-Musical Turkey.
